About Me


Hi the names Dylan Orcutt. I love playing baseball. But when I'm not playing baseball I hunt and i LOVE it. I hang out with friends a lot too. I have 2 older sisters. My mom died when i was in 6th grade. So it's just me and my dad living at home along.

Scots Pine

  1. Name- Scots Pine
  2. scientific name- Pinus Sylvestris
  3. Organism that infects tree- pests and diseases
  4. Provides habitat or food for... (don't guess, research)- Pine Cones
  5. Justify classification of tree to related trees - how is your tree related to other trees in its class? What does it have in common, etc. - It has pine cones and the leaves stay on all year.
  6. Commercial use of tree-
  7. Twig characteristics-
  8. Where tree is found in the world (native to pa?)-

Rice


  1. Where it is grown in the world?- You can pretty much grow rice anywhere. But the mostly grown in East and South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and the West Indies.
  2. Foods made from the grains (discuss examples from a wide sampling of places around the world). - They mostly use rice grain in cereal.
  3. Interesting information about the grain and how it is used.- Rice is the 2nd World Wide Production, It is also mostly grown in places with a low labor force, and how most people grow it is in flooded fields because it needs lots of water to grow.

This is the key.

This is the DNA cell is showing the sugar, phosphate, and the hydrogen bonds.

The bonds begin to unzip.

The bonds begin to build a second DNA strand.

This is the two strands of DNA from the first one.



Telomeres- the long ends at the end of the chromosome

Okazako Fragments- where the polymerase of DNA can begin to synthesize a section of complementary strand

DNA Ligase- sews the Okazaki Fragments together

Telomerase- enzyme that increases telomeres to the end of DNA strands

Cancer- has the ability to divide itself as many times as it wants, may slow down the aging of tissue and they grow into tumors

Transplanted Cells- they also have to ability to divide themselves as many times as they want, however they die out

Cloning- most famous use of cloning was the sheep, Dolly. They copied the nucleus of her telomeres

Aging- changes in an organism over time x
